Ive changed the value in /etc/modules.d/nvidia, and rebooted (reload the module), but when I cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status, it shows fast write as disabled. How to enable it exactly? I have a FX5700 and fast write works fine in windows, so I want to enable it for sure.

Hello,

I have experienced the same issue.

Quick fix: Add

Code:

nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1


to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Greetings, marcuse

Run modules-update and update-modules (I forget which one actually does the thing you care about), which will propogate your changes from /etc/modules.d/nvidia to /etc/modules.conf. /etc/modules.d/nvidia is ignored by modprobe itself.
